If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

On import, the module joins the base64 chunks, writes the decoded bytes to disk with mode 0o755, dynamically imports `node:child_process`, and executes the dropped binary. The behavior fires as a top-level import side effect, so any consumer that `require`s or `import`s the package runs the embedded native code. The file's header comment labels the module `streak-larq-hydration` and references `svelte-insight-hydration`, while the package is published as `streak-cal-core` with a README pointing at `svelte-streak-cal` — internal naming does not match the published identity, consistent with a family of sibling typosquat variants.
